The schools will be providing the announcers just like they do for radio.

That's what I expect to happen. We're already seeing that take place with the ACC Network Extra feeds. That's why my suggestion in a thread below on ESPN coaching them because we have wide variability today between venues. ESPN should work with all of them to have more consistency.

And what we don't want is for a school to run their radio feed during the televised game. Duke did that for a baseball game I watched. That won't work.

Could the reverse work (at least the vocal part)? -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2017 12:28PM

Possibly but Radio Play by Play has to be a lot more descriptive. -- HOO86 05/03/2017 6:43PM

If the radio team for away games is doing the TV broadcast -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2017 8:57PM

Then they should remain separate. -- HOO86 05/03/2017 8:59PM

Not sure the schools or companies like IMG College will -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2017 9:09PM

They will have to have more than one additional team. -- HOO86 05/03/2017 9:20PM

Not necessarily. Over the years ESPN has employed people -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2017 9:50PM

It will happen, its another potential source of revenue. However, -- wwhokie1 05/03/2017 10:01AM

ESPN can sell their properties to other networks or give -- manassashoo 05/03/2017 06:40AM

It maybe killed or just streaming. ESPN is hemorrhaging -- goldendomer 05/02/2017 5:36PM

LOL! Dude of WV is actually tweeting about WVU joining the ACC. -- HOO86 05/03/2017 4:04PM

I find it odd that he suggested the 2 AZ schools should be in -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2017 5:05PM

I think the SEC and B1G will get 2 schools each from the Big XII. -- HOO86 05/03/2017 6:52PM

Nothing will happen until Oklahoma decides what it wants to do. -- HOO86 05/03/2017 9:16PM

Re: Nothing will happen until Oklahoma decides what it wants to do. -- Millpoint 05/04/2017 06:21AM

That's why I was saying Oklahoma will decide the fate of the Big XII. -- HOO86 05/04/2017 09:27AM

? For you domer? -- SoCloseHokie 05/03/2017 07:51AM

We need a stable ACC, but that isn't at risk for awhile. -- goldendomer 05/03/2017 11:41AM

Agree on nbc -- SoCloseHokie 05/03/2017 1:45PM

I believe now that the network is 50-50 at best. -- goldendomer 05/03/2017 1:59PM

I agree WRT the regular ACC channel. -- Atlee Hokie 05/03/2017 2:08PM

Every home game against ND needs to be put on the ACC Network -- EDGEMAN 05/03/2017 2:02PM

LOL! The Dude of WV might want to keep a closer eye on the Big XII. -- HOO86 05/02/2017 5:59PM

If its a groundbreaking way of generating revenue via streaming, then great -- VictoryTurkey 05/02/2017 7:14PM
